You're not wrong.
I do agree, that with some people, there seems to be an almost religious fervor over OS choice.
And Mac users DO tend to be smeared with the "Only gays and Libs use Apple machines" tag.
Which, IMO, shouldn't be done. If you all were libs, presumably you wouldn't be here, and I kind of doubt that you're all gay. Or even mostly gay. ;)
I'm sure those posts get kind of tiresome after a while. But what I'd like to say is that elevating the tone comes about when everyone agrees to elevate the tone. If Bush2000 or whoever the "gay Mac" poster is (I forget) had come forth to claim that they hadn't done anything wrong, that it was them being unilaterally victimized, I'd be saying the same thing to them. I suppose there are plenty of people who will totally disbelieve that, but that's where I'm coming from.
